Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • MRHumbl3 Mitchell Humble (@MRHumbl3) reported

    @CSGO When you fix the cheating ill be impressed. What is the point of Overwatch when every person is spin hacking and its obvious as can be? How hard is it to detect those cheats instantly?

  • ZammeyRat Zammey (@ZammeyRat) reported

    Genji and hanzo will forever be the two characters i respect the least in overwatch ball might be annoying and echo might be broken as **** but those two brothers have been the most ******* obnoxious characters since the game came out

  • EnvyEater 𝑬𝒏𝒗𝒊𝒐𝒖𝒔 𝑯𝒆𝒊𝒓 (@EnvyEater) reported

    🚬Question: Is it offensive for a straight person to rp a bi account? It was a huge issue back in Overwatch verse(then again that verse as a whole is a huge issue).

  • mrschuckles2_0 shannon (@mrschuckles2_0) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN are the servers down? Can’t sign into overwatch

  • justyanlys yuriM (@justyanlys) reported

    @khltw_Apex Overwatch had this problem too and it was exposed that LAN cafes in mainland China are offering hacks on demand. I think this problem extends to apex too. It’s clear that most of these hackers are using the same hacks and more importantly just swapping accs. FEELSBADMAN 😔

  • _BoDangles_ Cole (@_BoDangles_) reported

    @BlizzardCS Everytime i try to login to overwatch it just instantly says "unable to login" no matter what account I use... anyone else have this problem?

  • RickySantone Ricky Santone (@RickySantone) reported

    @princearies Yeah it was really my first and then I bled over into Overwatch cuz of its artstyle and character design too lol. They are still the only shooters I really play. But yeah I love Splatoon 2 but I have realized some design choices are just silly and I hope they fix them ha.

  • _enjorlas R, abIm, they/them 🐌🪐 (@_enjorlas) reported

    for an entire month I sat pressed against my headboard playing overwatch on my laptop and exacerbating my already iffy lower back issues. I have chronic tendinitis and pelvic floor issues (also from endometriosis but the sitting all day plays a huge part)

  • RheignsTV ☔️Rheigns☔️ (@RheignsTV) reported

    So I can play apex, fortnite, dbd, overwatch, etc on my pc but I’m having lag issues with gta fivem idk why.

    i keep having this problem where my cursor gets stuck on screen in games (spin rhythm, hk, and overwatch so far) and the only fix ive found is to restart my computer and i hate it

  • CassieDavenport Cassandra Davenport (@CassieDavenport) reported

    So turns out, the issue I had streaming Overwatch the other day was in fact, not my computer, it was the internet being evil just like I thought. It ran smoothly last night until my dad was uploading a video, which then caused the game to lag again.

  • EitchZid Lil Eitch🧠 (@EitchZid) reported

    3 games of Dimond rank in overwatch and 2 games of them the enemy team have hackers plz @BlizzardME fix your game and we need a really good anti cheat system or no one will play your stupid games ffs ..

  • Nerdy0o Marissa (@Nerdy0o) reported

    Overwatch will not open on my PC. I did a scan and repair and they found no issues. It goes to a black screen then just closes. Anyone know why?

  • DEADEYEBASTARD 𝙈𝙘𝘾𝙧𝙚𝙚 (@DEADEYEBASTARD) reported

    @EchoingRobot There was no telling how long either of them were out - hours, days, weeks. All this time, Jesse had been out, broken and battered. But, all the same, he had recovered. Saved from the clutches of Death by Echo, and the Overwatch medical team. Soon enough, Jesse had awoken. -

  • sk8ingbye laurie 🕷 (@sk8ingbye) reported

    @BlizzardCS I’m having an issue with my stats on overwatch. I’ve played mercy for about 300hrs and the game for about 800 and it says I have 68hrs with mercy and only 332hrs for the game. I’ve been playing since release and I’m pretty upset. Is there anything you can do?

  • davidkfried DesignerDave (@davidkfried) reported

    @JordanChariton @amazon At a bare minimum it needs to be broken up by country and regulated by an overwatch group from those country's governments. It's a global monopoly and getting worse by the second.

  • Pallyberryy Pallyberry (@Pallyberryy) reported

    @priusOBS This was a huge problem for me and streaming cs/overwatch. I got tons of lag. Mine was turned on & I turned it off and now it runs fine. Might be a fix for your friend too

  • Spencer45168536 Pretzel Boy Twit (@Spencer45168536) reported

    @TheUncleAlShow Doom Slayer is my dream character to be in Smash, although I don’t think it will happen (lmao I hope I’m wrong) Other characters I hope to get in are Crash Bandicoot, Tracer from Overwatch, King Boo, and others that I forget.

  • DarkAspie AspieAfterDark🔞 (@DarkAspie) reported

    Ahh, and another thing... Don't fall for online "leakers" particularly the ones who claim crazy things will happen such as... -Mother 3 localization -Fortnite/Overwatch/Crash Bandicoot/etc for Smash Bros -F-Zero resurrection Please keep a copious amount of salt with you.

  • ortonomy_ Gregory Orton (@ortonomy_) reported

    @realJeffkaplan1 why won’t you fix your game? Our entire overwatch community, in China, of 50 players ranging bronze to GM are sick to death of smurfs and your complete inaction dealing with the problem!

  • earth2korey trapstar (@earth2korey) reported

    cait got in trouble, has to turn off overwatch

  • mikehudsonsucks Mike Slutson BLM (@mikehudsonsucks) reported

    @Schnoub17 I play Overwatch the most but I also call the problems I solve at work "noobs"

  • Kat_The_Gryphon Katrina (@Kat_The_Gryphon) reported

    I stopped playing overwatch because it's a team game where you HAVE to talk to people and everyone is toxic. Csgo I only play with friends for the same reasons. Tf2 would be find because I can disable chat and turn voice coms off but the bot issue is too much for me to care.

  • anniemae04 ΛППIΣ-MΛΣ (@anniemae04) reported

    But if Splatoon 3 feels too much like just taking Splatoon 1 and reskinning it, that's why I have issue with them working on a 3rd so soon. It's gonna be Nintendo's 60$ fortnite or overwatch and that's a scummy thought to have about these games.

    @Pitochia @kuskuspl With crash at least people would be as happy as when banjo was announced and maybe he would be a sonic 2 with a lot of spin attacks but if he gets in they will probably use some crash 4 attacks. I would be cool with overwatch tbh traces could have a fun time mechanic
